10,000 Small Businesses

Alumni Testimonials

ICIC is the proud national outreach and selection partner of Goldman Sachs on their innovative and influential 10,000 Small Businesses initiative.

Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses is a $500 million investment to help small businesses create jobs and economic opportunity by providing them with greater access to business education, financial capital, and business support services.

The program is based on the broadly held view of leading experts that greater access to a combination of education, capital and support services best addresses barriers to business growth. 10,000 Small Businesses is funded by Goldman Sachs and The Goldman Sachs Foundation.
